Greg Rommel, who is a graduate student, walked with his parents last season, so he'll be a spectator on Saturday.

Palmer will definitely be back next season and Brennan might be back. Palmer asked for and was granted a medical redshirt for missing most of his sophomore season with an injury. He will return to SU next year as a graduate student (he'll get his master's degree in information management).

Brennan has applied for a redshirt season. SU officials can't provide a reason for Brennan's application because of student confidentiality issues, but officials have confirmed Brennan is trying to regain a year of eligibility. Brennan missed all of last season because he was academically ineligible. SU coach John Desko said Brennan and the Orange coaching staff should know within a few weeks whether Brennan's application was granted. (The Big East rules on such things, even though the Orange does not play a conference lacrosse schedule.)
